Somkiat Chantra to sit out French Grand Prix

The IDEMITSU Honda LCR rider will not take part in the new Grand Prix as he continues his recovery following arm pump surgery

IDEMITSU Honda LCR rider Somkiat Chantra will not take part in the Grand Prix of France as he continues his recovery following arm pump surgery, which took place on April 30th.

After a post-surgery check-up, Dr. Xavier Mir, who carried out the procedure, recommended allowing more time for Somkiat to regain full strength before returning to competition. While his rehabilitation is progressing well, he is not yet in suitable condition to race.

The team fully supports Somkiat’s recovery process and looks forward to welcoming him back on track soon.
